ERK

A bit more work on this - I have cut out in between the ribs then assembled all the bits, I then placed the Utahraptor next to Rexy. Only able to put the one picture can't post the other one, Ah.......there are my pics. Erk.

Evening all, a wee bit of an update - the pelvic bones where attached along with the legs, I have also dry fitted the head and tail end piece, they will be glued on latter, oh its also fixed down to the base now. I have also started a side project that will be placed with it in the shape of a dig for it Velociraptor skeleton. Erk.

More washes added to age the bones. Erk.

Thank you kindly. Erk.

Evening all, starting work on the washes on the Skull - starting with Black then I will turn it over and do the same on the other side, I will follow this with a Dark Brown wash. Erk.

Thank you kindly, not sure what the holes are but I have seen them in pictures of T Rex's skeletons, its taking some work as the kit parts where already painted in the factory - not to a very good standard, I will also have several washes to apply. I am hoping to display it with a similar scale Veloceraptor - like in the Jurassic films, biggest problem will be displaying it space wise etc. Erk.

Evening all, a bit of an update and pics - I am working a flat sand colour all over the seperate parts, including one of my 28mm figures to get an idea of the scale. Erk.

Great work mate. Erk.

I brought this before the pandemic and delayed starting it till I built up the nerve, going back to my childhood I saw a replica of T Rex in a museum and was hooked. The kit uses a metal spine and the skeleton is made up of spine sections / head (upper and lower) Three piece tail end / pelvic bone / legs and feet and the front arms with plate. Its not the best plastic to work with as its a PVC and already pre painted in the factory to a poor standard (the seams are still visible) so first job was to work on the head/jaws and tidy these up - remember the soft plastic used in the old Airfix 1/72 figures that was next to impossible to sand or file or even scrape - yep same with this plastic - it leaves little fillaments like hairs when I try to tidy up the seams. Anyway after getting the head joined and tidied up I gave it a light rough sand colour (I will be adding several washes) So this is the head before I did any tidy up work and paint. More to follow. Erk.

I am back folks after having a short spell of loosing my mojo - anyway after kicking my butt I carried on with the last of my figures (for now) Erk.

They look excellent. Erk.

Is it the top coat breaking down? Erk.

Superb mate. Erk.

The Ill fated Luneburg now painted and weathered, lots of mud around their boots/shoes due to the muddy conditions at the time. Erk.

Good morning all, next little project - remnants of the I'll fated Luneburg battalion who was cut down by the French Cuirassiers, after they walked down the slope in line to assist the KGL at the side of LHS, still some more work to do on them. Erk.

Good day all, here we have my collection of 54th/55th ligne figures completed (excluding the ones already attached to my dio) Erk.

Excellent work. Erk.

Thank you kindly Vince. Erk.

Evening all, I have finished my 5th KGL rescue duo, they are now put away awaiting my airbrush flat top coat. Erk.

Amazing work, i have considered getting this kit at xmas. Erk.

Evening all, next on the bench is my duo of 5th KGL Line infantry carrying an officer. Erk.

Morning all, more work starting this time the 54th Grenadiers. Erk.
